What happens during the disease - hypertrophy of vulva
Hypertrophy of the vulva is a condition in which the vulva tissues become enlarged due to an increase in the size of the vulva's cells. this is often caused by an imbalance of hormones, such as increased levels of estrogen, leading to increased cell growth. in some cases, the cause can be unknown, but it can also be caused by certain medications, genetic factors, or an underlying medical condition such as polycystic ovary syndrome. treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause, if known, and may include hormone therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgery.
